Labs

Kastner Research Group @ CSE, UCSD The Kastner Research group focuses on the advancement of embedded technology. This technology includes devices that seamlessly integrate into our lives and facilitate tasking on the consumer, corporate and research level through advances in low-level computing.
Jaffe Laboratory for Underwater Imaging @ MPL, SIO, UCSD The Jaffe lab focuses on building oceanographic instruments for answering questions in marine ecology and physical oceanography. I specifically work with the Autonomous Underwater Explorers (AUEs).
Institut des Sciences De la Terre (ISTerre) - Waves and Structures @ Universite Grenoble, Alps ISTerre studies the physics of wave propagation through different media. I spent the 2016-2017 school year working with Dr. Philippe Roux working on a section of my thesis, and continue to work closely with him.
Center of Interdisciplinary Science for Art, Architecture and Archaeology (CISA3) CISA3 develops tools and technology for the discovery, documentation, preservation and dissemination of important Cultural Heritage sites. You can find my CISA3 profile here.
Engineers for Exploration The Engineers for Exploration aids both conservation research and exploration through the development of remote imaging technology.
